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!

    Thoughts on going Alli over Son or is it just trying to be too clever for the sake of it?

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

      Son is better. Always is.

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        probably right. Think Son will probably cause murders against Bournemouth. Alli looked dangerous tho!

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

      What i'm pondering too

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

      Could be genius, probably egg on face.

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

      I think Alli might be the one to get.

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

      I think Alli is a great differential if you are chasing.

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

        Chasing what though? Loads of people don't have Son.

    6. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      On recent showing of his two games since Jose took over he has been great. I think he is now genuinely a good option and don’t think it’s being too clever. BUT I still believe Son is the better option.

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

        Clearly the teams confidence has improved this week BUT the opposition has been west ham and Olympiacos hardly the greatest of tests
        If you have the money then Son makes the most sense but also important to have some differential picks

    7. Paulie Walnuts
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I can't decide

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

      I will get Alli, mainly becase I cant afford Son and well thats just how I am. Probably Kane aslo

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

        but what abot Eriksen? 😀

    9. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Alli looked very good again, and potentially a bargain at 8.4. Son and Kane also look good options. Aurier due a sending off so won't go for that.

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

        When you compare to the Chelsea and Leicester mids, I think he’s higher risk for higher price.

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

      Thinking about both

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

    Selfish Son

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

      Good for fpl

  3. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Lundstram to Aurier, Done

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

      No chance

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

      But Spurs arent keeping cleanies just yet. Expecting Aurier to score/assist every game?

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

      TAA > Aurier even better

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

    Why aren't people getting Jesus in? Aguero is injured so he'll probably start all the games since Kun is back.

    1. jesus jesus
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Cos Pep says he can play Jesus or Sterling up top !!!

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

      City not in best form
      can't justify ousting players in form for him with the likes of Vardy, Jiminez etc
      can't even score penalties.

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

      Most people are happy with their strikers and if they arent it takes two transfers to get Jesus in.

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

      he isnt that great

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

      Coz hes awful?

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

        Awful striker who has started 4 Premier League games this season and has scored 3+1 in those games.

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

          Yes he is. I would score more in that shiti team.

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

      Would prefer Firmino at that price

  5. Dee Lixon
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Spurs fever!

    Sterling and Mount to:
    1. Son and Alli
    2. Kane and 6.0 (Grealish?)
    3. Go and have a lie down...

    Thanks!

    2. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Son and bot ali or Kane
      Dont get to excited mate

    3. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      3

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

      Son is enough cover for the time being imo.

      1. Dee Lixon
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Voices of reason. Cheers!

  6. Peter Ouch

    So how did Sterling do tonight?

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

      Anonymous I guess

      1. fr3d
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        2G 2A at the weekend confirmed

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

      I didn't watch the game but my best guess is a big fat nothing 🙂

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

    Spurs are back

  8. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Sod it I'm doing KDB to Son.

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

      thinking of doing the same.

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        most saying KDB a season keeper but I havnt got any value tied up in KDB so happy to get him back later if needed

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

          neither have i, bought him back at 10.0m, not only that, it's so confusing each week, one minute he's deep, the next it looks like he may attack more, then back to being the assister of the assister. Son much more direct imo.

      2. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        or Alli! ha

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

      Will probably do it as well.

    3. Carlos3
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Planning the same

  9. Wag the Drog
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    KDB out before 60'? Just a tactical sub?

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

      No injury reported.

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

        For real?

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

          I think you might have saw what I wrote as "No, injury reported".

          It looks like he was just taken off to rest him because they didn't really need to win..

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

            Ok haha. Yeah saw it interpreted it as injury reported

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

      Injured?

  10. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Maddison or Pulisic for KDB
    or
    KDB Mount to Maddy Pulisic

    1. Only a Hazard of time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Second one looks good if you've got 2 FT.

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

        Yeah two free trannys. Just waiting on KDB injury news

  11. Only a Hazard of time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling to Mane, I'm back on the Holy Scouse trio of Salah, Mane and Robertson. I've been less involved in the 'meta' side of FPL this season due to work, will we get the usual 'massively depleted GW due to FA Cup games' this season? Just for FH planning.

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

      Yeah.

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

    Hmm. Best way to tap spurs fever?
    A. Kdb to Son
    B. Martial to Alli/Moura
    C. Soyuncu/Rico to Aurier
    D. A hit to do Martial to Son.

    Will most likely wait for now - planning ahead.

    1. Dee Lixon
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      B with Alli

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

        Leaning that way. Not sure I owned even when he was in his former glory

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

    How bad are peoples teams if you transferring in double spurs lol
    I dont really have any candidates to take out

    1. Wag the Drog
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I can afford to switch Martial to Son

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

        ditching him a bit soon no?

        1. Wag the Drog
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Going to wait 1 more week

    2. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I dont want to sell anyone for Son tbh. So i understand. Have Sterling and KDB you cant sell them away to Newcastle

    3. camarozz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Did Auba to Kane last wk.

  14. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Wait, why did KDB get subbed off early? Injury?

    1. mdm
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Seems so...

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

        No it doesn't.

    2. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      No

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

      No but he seemed tired.

  15. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Who do we think will become the best value asset for Spurs now?

    A) Son

    B) Alli

    C) Lucas

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

      probably Alli, but Alli's goals have been lucky imo so I wouldnt read to much into that. Looking like he will be assisting alot more than scoring. Alli and Kane combo will be nice

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Defintely Son for me

    3. Carlos3
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I see Son as the safest bet of the 3.. My pick atm.
      Would like to see some consistent returns from Alli before switching.
      Kane has big potential though

    4. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      B best value bit Son top.points in Dec

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

    RMWCT

    Henderson
    Aurier - Lundstram - Söyüncü
    Mane - Son - Martial - Pulisic
    Kane - Vardy - Abraham

    Button - Tomori - Cahill - Dendoncker

    +0.7m

    1. Wag the Drog
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'd want more than 1 Liverpool player on a wildcard.

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Robbo/TAA?
      Probably downgrade kane to rashford /jiminez or even punt on jesus

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

      Thanks both. I'll look at getting another Pool. Maybe at the cost of Martial.

      1. FeverPitch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Martial out and Liverpool fullback in looks great imo

    4. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      no city? you crazy.

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

    Lowton -> Aurier with 0.3 ITB..This is a sign right? 🙂

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

    People saying Alli over Son are only saying it because they can't afford Son

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

      a lil bit, but at the same time I know in 3 weeks all the son owners will wish they had alli 😉

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

      They're saying it because he scored recently and Son didn't. That's how it goes.

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

        naw, Allis goals have been lucky, just watch how Alli is playing. Going to be an assist machine

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

      Theres been a while since Ive been able to do the old "X casuals just have him because they cant afford Y...."

      Cant wait until Alli scores against BOU

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

        I can't wait for Son to score 14 more goals this season. Alli will probably bag half of that.

  19. GE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    1) Auba -> Kane
    2) Auba -> Jimenez
    3) Save
    4) Other suggestions

    (1FT, 0.0 itb)

    Pope
    TAA/Soy/Tomori
    Mane/KDB/Mount/Tielemans
    Auba/Vardy/Abraham

    Bench: Button, Lundstram, Rico, Dendoncker

    1. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      2

    2. Carlos3
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      1 - have high hopes for Kane for next period

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

      I just did 1.

  20. FPL_Cot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Who to captain:
    Vardy (EVE)
    Abraham (WHU)
    Mane (BHA)
    Son (BOU)

    Thinking Vardy is safest but Abraham/Son could score big this GW.

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

      Vardy for me

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

      Vardy, he'll definitely wanna keep this run going, and well know he can.

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

        and we all know he can*

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

      Abraham is playing the weakest opposition but he doesn't tend to do very well at home. Mane is a very good option but only 2 day gap after Napoli game could be a slight issue for Liverpool. I'm not as convinced with Son under Mourinho as I was with him in Poch's team.

      So for me, it will probably be Vardy, but of course any of those can score big and none of them are bad options.

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

      Vardy for sure

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

      Vardy - it's EVERTON.

  21. Ibra
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Too many options. I can't decide.

    A) Sterling + Jota -> Salah + Ings
    B) Sterling + Jota -> Alli + Jesus
    C) Sterling + Jota -> Son + Jimenez
    D) KDB + Jota -> Son + Ings
    E) KDB + Jota -> Alli + Jimenez

    1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…

  23. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years

    Sterling, Mount > Son, Pulisic for free?

    1. Carlos3
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yes!

    2. FeverPitch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Just sterling to Son imo

  24. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Think il captain Harry Kane v West Ham for the craic.

    Who's with me?

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

      ?

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

      Spurs play Bou?
      Chelsea play WHU

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      They played vs westham last week my grandpa

    4. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I'd rather do it for the points but wouldn't mind some crack.

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Lol.. Why did I think it was this wk. And I had Harry last wk. Oh my poor brain.
        Forget it.

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

      I predict he'll get 6 points.

      Mount

    3. Hy liverpool

      Just feel like i'm going to lumped with Martial and a stinky run

      Martial

  26. Man Chest Hair United

    4 years, 4 months ago

    Best option here

    Kane and Dendonker
    Son and Mousett -4

    Both mousett and Dendonker would be 8th attacker

  27. Will Kane
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Hmmm. Wanted to ask a question which was not about transferring in Spurs players but clearly now is not the right time - I'll come back tomorrow!

        Prefer Dier

    Aurier is good going forward and that strike was sick but he cant defend to save his life. We have to play Sissoko to cover Aurier...
    somethings got to give

    Current Team:
    Pope
    TAA, Soyu, Tomori
    KDB, Mané, Mount, Tielemans
    Kane, Abraham, Vardy

    Bench: McGovern, Guilbert, Rico, Hayden

    2FT 0.0 ITB

    Which moves do you recommend?

    I know I'm missing Lundstarm but the fact that he's on 4 YC doesn't attract him...

  30. FPLMarc
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Mane, Sterling, Mount, Cantwell
    Vardy, Abraham, Jimenez

    4.3m ITB

    The plan all along has been to FINALLY go Martial for Cantwell. Would you do:

    A) Martial for Cantwell
    B) Get in Son or Kane?

      sterling to Son looks best
