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!

    My original plan was to transfer Kdb put for Salah this gw, but should i get Son instead?

    1. Ode
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

    2. theguy69

        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        You think he will score more points than Son or Salah in the upcoming gameweeks?

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

          Its certainly possible yes. FT's are valuable also don't forget

      No i use add blocker thanks be to god.

      The Irish greens are a total bunch of nutjobs.
      They are going to destroy rural Ireland so they can feel good about themselves in their posh Dublin suburbs.

        The Irish government in general is a joke. Screwing everyone of us. And lining their own pockets. God how i wish for a revolution

          Agreed and the choices are grim.

          The problem with this place is that we have given away out sovereignty and the family silver to European Union.Anyone we elect has no real power to do anything without getting to ok from our masters in Germany and France.

          It is a disgrace really considering all the heartbreak people went through here so we could run our own affairs just to have it pissed away by politicians looking for a soft job and pension in Brussels.

          "And I say to my people’s masters: Beware,
          Beware of the thing that is coming, beware of the risen people
          Who shall take what ye would not give.
          Did ye think to conquer the people, or that law is stronger than life,
          And than men’s desire to be free?
          We will try it out with you ye that have harried and held,
          Ye that have bullied and bribed.
          Tyrants… hypocrites… liars!"

      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A does look good, but I think you're safe from price changes to wait till Liv and Che have played in case of inj,,

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

    Aurier or Soyuncu?

    1. theguy69
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      soy

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Soy, Aurier is like a lottery time bomb each fane

  5. Kno
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Who would you start between soiboy and aurier?

    Feel like the potential for points is bigger with aurier but soy should be a pretty safe cs.

    1. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I'm playing Aurier.

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Soyboy (I own both)

  6. Link
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Hmmm. Tough one guys

    A. Soyuncu and Son
    B. Robbo and Maddison

    (No other Spurs)

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A

  7. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Shame the only way I’d be able to get Son is losing Salah which is clearly not the way forward so looks like I’m missing out on this particular party 🙁

  8. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    How did Son play tonight?

    I see He only got an assist.

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

      Played well.

      It is a collectors item not to see Son giving it his all.

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks

  9. Ian Davis
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Sell Sterling for Son or somehow keep faith still?

    1. theguy69
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      sell, sterling is trash

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Sell.
      Hes had enough time.

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Fire sell him, stop clinging to hope, the game is about points 😉

    4. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, gonna give him one more game. If he scores a hatrick against Newcastle I will keep. Otherwise I will get rid.

  10. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    anyone watching gods of egypt? WTF I swear Harry winks is in it LOL

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Salah will be gutted

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He does.

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

    In fairness to Jose he showed his managerial greatness by acting decisively and switching Dier for Eirksen.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, he has done some great early substitutions in his career.

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Or it shows it was a poor decision not to start him in the first place 😉

  12. Tempestic
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    2FT and no clue what to do with them rly. 0ITB
    Pope (button)
    TAA Tomori Soy (Lund Rico)
    Mane KDB Son Martial (Saka)
    Vardy Abraham Jimenez

    I guess just Saka > Dendonker or something right?
    Gives me 0.1 to maybe change Pope to Henderson or Ryan next week if I feel like.
    Also don't want to bench Lund but Soy and Tomori's fixtures look so good...

  13. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    What's the betting Eriksen will be the one to get? 🙂

  14. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Is Robert Lewandovski the best striker in world football right now?

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years

      Rashy mate

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, so an english forward lineup of Vardy, Abraham and Kane?

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah im looking at Sterling to fund it

      2. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Looking like this for me too.

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He also loves getting the flu and missing some games

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Son gets Asian flu

  16. Hazardous1983
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Made my changes early to avoid price rises which would have meant i couldnt have changed the team

    I did dendonker and sterling out son n pulisic in. Was that mad.move.

    1. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

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

        lol

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Nah its decent enough moves.

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

    Sterling + Jota + Willems -> Son + Jimenez + Soy (-4) before tonights price rises? After that I would have:

    Pope
    TAA - Soy - Lundstram
    Mane - KDB - Son - Mount
    Vardy - Abraham - Jimenez

    Button - Rico - Kelly - Dendoncker

  18. The Wizard of Ozil
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Happy enough with my team so looking at upgrading my bench

    A) Lowton -> Aurier
    B) Lowton -> Tomori
    C) Lawton -> Rico

    1. Effe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      C

  19. Assisting the assister
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Help need to decide tonight if A.

    A. Sterling + Connolly > Jimi + Son -4 (Jimi going up so have right money now)
    B. Hold Sterling and save FT. He will haul one day.
    C. Sterling > Salah to double up with Mane. Salah the comeback king.

    Any thoughts welcome

    1. Effe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 12 Years

  20. gelisiguzel
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    a) keep
    B) Button--> Henderson and play BB
    C) any other option

    1 FT and 1.3 ITB

    Gazz (Button)
    TAA, Tomori, Chilwell (Aurier, Lunds)
    Mane, KDB, Martial, Maddison (Mount)

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Tomori Trent and Soy
      But benching lundy is a disaster waiting to happen

      1. Hazardous1983
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Maybe shud bench tomori

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Bench Tomori.

    4. theguy69
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      thing is west ham do actually score goals. Soy getting a CS is sort of 50/50, but everton look rubbish at the moment

        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Lol this guy again, like that’s a long time is it?

          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          no, my 38th season running, keep your blind fate in him, and be happy with your 500k rank

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Lmao, such a noob response, clear as day.
            38th season running? Really? Just read that slowly lol.
            Happy with my 500k rank? Oh dear, your season history is probably a bomb site kid.l, you do realise we’re not even halfway through the season yet don’t you slick?
            Salah hauls and i’ll be there to catch your tears don’t worry.

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

              wow, did you catch a sweat there? could there be irony behind the season running statement i made? think hard about it! looking forward to the haul mate, just as i think glenn murray captaincy this gw might pay off.

              1. Salah’s Sonnet
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                A sweat from what? Typing? Yeah, because that would be normal. Wow, the brains.
                A season running statement? Not really, you’d be wrong there, and are. Think hard about what? Anything a noob says isn’t hard ti think about.
                Lmao! Now comparing Salah to Glenn Murray, you’ve just exposed your status for everyone to see. I feel a swell of pity for you right now kid. I’ll leave you to go learn about the game. Remember, tear bucket here at the ready 😉 You can reply now safe in the knowledge that you lose and nothing will be read. Bless.

                    4 years, 5 months ago

                    There’s you trying to make it sound like you know what you’re talking about, it’s cute honestly.
                    Mate? Lmao you wish for mates.
                    One higher rank? How so exactly? Can’t see you from up here slick. You know very well it’s poor just like your season history. Bless, this really is a good effort on your behalf though. Everything ok at home? Lmao.

                      (the "thanks for asking" was ironic)

                        • 12 Years
                        4 years, 5 months ago

                        I get the feeling it’s not fine 😉

                4 years, 5 months ago

                “Callm” lmao, i give up, ta ta now. Go and improve ya play, come back when all grown up 😉 Over and out.

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

                  are you actually dumb, i made numerous mistakes on purpose in that sentence and you pick out callm? goodnight sir

                  1. Salah’s Sonnet
                    • 12 Years
                    4 years, 5 months ago

                    Lmao! Of COURSE you did! Oh wow! Lmao, night kid, your mum’s shouting you. Sweet dreams, don’t cry too much about your rank and season history and such.

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

                      i dont think you get it, sleep well, salad haul at the weekend confirmed, there is an all you can eat place close to me

                      1. Salah’s Sonnet
                        • 12 Years
                        4 years, 5 months ago

                        There’s nothing to ‘get’ from anything you say kid. You can’t even spell ‘spelling’ correctly. Salad haul? I think the all you can eat place is reserved for you to be fair. Sweet dreams .

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

                        me trying to be ironic with you is like trying to talk to with a brick wall, nothing gets through to your brain.

                        ill break it down for you, you found a spelling mistake in the word "fate" which should have been "faith", in which you chose to point out, even though it had nothing to do with the topic we were discussing.

                        i then tried to be ironic with you by making a sentence full of mistakes while maintaining my point so you could realise.

                        you then took that as a sign of my intelligence as i now couldnt spell other words correctly aswell, even though they were on purpose.

                        i have been very ironic in all my messages, apologies.

                        gl with salah!

                        Wow, still replying lmao! I haven’t even bothered reading that, as i’ll feel dumber for doing so.
                        You have issues at home and this isn’t the place to bring them. I have a number here to ring if you need it.

                        okay then!

      The only reason i’m keeping is because i have to give him this chance, if he doesn’t haul, then i’ll be shifting on i think. I do expect him to do well, but essential right now, maybe not, more of a chance being taken on him. He’s almost a differential, which i thought i’d never see

    Is this transfer worth it or too risky?

    Dendonker and Barnes --> Lucas and Ayew (-4)

    Connolly price drop is annoying. Who's best to replace, ayew or mousset?

      It is, but not the end of the world. Wouldn’t drop him just for the sake of his price dropping though, surely you have other fires to put out?

        Quite happy with the team atm tbh. Although I'm now considering sterling out and connolly > jimenez

          That’s cool then. Sterling + Connolly out would be good moves i’d say, just depends who partners Jiminez.
