Scoutcast crew discuss how to handle Man City assets and Harry Kane

The Scoutcast crew have some important issues to discuss ahead of Gameweek 17.

The latest episode will broadcast from 20:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT on our YouTube channel.

Manchester City players are starting to wane in terms of popularity but with a trip to Arsenal on Sunday, there’s every chance they punish their sellers.

With very few of Pep Guardiola’s assets offering appeal right now, we sift through some of the strategies around them.

Joe is joined by David and Karam for the latest episode to talk about Manchester City.

Also on the agenda is what to do about Harry Kane (£10.9m), who flattered to deceive in the early games of Jose Mourinho’s Spurs reign, but exploded against Burnley.

Finally, we will discuss how best to approach Gameweek 18 when Liverpool and West Ham experience a blank thanks to the Club World Cup.

    Would you -4 to do Ings > Tammy?

    If I sell Ings I have exactly 7.9....

    1. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah. Get rid of Mane, Vardy and KDB as well whilst you’re about it.

      1. Blanka

        4 years, 4 months ago

        How has this got 2 up votes? Comparing Flash in the pan Ings to those 3. Smh.

        1. CheesyZoot

          4 years, 4 months ago

          Solid advice to be fair, glad I asked.

          Just done a -16, Ings to Tammy, KDB to Shelvey, Vardy to jota and mane to Zaha

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

            There's actually a case to get rid of KDB. Vardy the only one going nowhere!

    captaining Alli over Vardy was the difference between a red arrow over a green one this GW! 🙁

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Be smarter this GW then

    Would you do Jiminez> Rashford for free?

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I would've done it before Jimi's drop if I could do it for free so yes.

  4. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Start Soy or Doherty? I know a CS is much more likely for the former but if they both concede then the latter has a much higher chance of attacking returns. Plus I love him.

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

      More than beer?

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Hmm, tough one.

    2. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Can't play both ?

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I don't think so

        Henderson
        TAA Doherty Lund (Soy, Rico)
        Salah Son Alli Pulisic (Dendo)
        Vardy Abraham Jimenez

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

          I see.....FPL is about having fun and Doherty is definitely a fun player to own. However, Soy against Norwich has higher CS potential than Doherty v Spurs and is still a threat from set pieces, I'd probably bench Doherty, reluctantly.

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Tough one isn't it? Not wanting to bench Doh because of his attacking threat has cost me points both this and last season so I'll probably do that, gonna think it over some more first.

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

              Yeah tricky, sounds like you want to punt on Doherty so do it and enjoy, good luck, im hoping he returns as I have him too 🙂

        2. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Pulisic to be rested for mount ? 😉

  5. Trippier Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Hello, has Tomori lost his starting place in the Chelsea squad? He hasn't started tonight or last 2 i think

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

      Been injured

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

      Injured and likely out of favour now unfortunately, reckon i’ll be moving him on very soon

    3. Trippier Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ah, sorry missed that and yes looks like time to shift...

  6. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pulisic might be ok going forward but he really is a light weight at the other part of the game...not up for it at all.

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

      Chelsea seem a little small physically, could that be s factor in their lack of cleaned?

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Could be.

  7. Tinmen
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Folks, can anyone tell me if Rashford or Abraham is rising tonight?

    I can’t get onto the price website

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

      Rashford 100 percent but Tammy unlikely.

    2. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Site down atm.

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

      Both could rise but both may not

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

    Think i may leave watching the scoutcast tonight, too much if a pain having to keep changing playback speed to 0.5 each time when David speaks hehe

  9. Mo Salah No Mane
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Willian owner here
    More of the same please on Saturday 🙂

    1. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      He looks good this season. Far more rounded as a player than Pulisic.

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

        Can't compare. 31 year old Brazilian international, experienced PL player and winner versus 21 year old US international, 13 PL games.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Well you can....and managers do. Plenty of young gifted players get sent to the gym to beef up a bit when they hit our league....I think Pulisic might benefit from that.

          Won’t make any difference to us as an FPL pick...we only want his forward play anyway.

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

            100% He could be an Aquilani, not talking about position or physique. A few good PL games and then back to his old league. It's the size of the fight in the dog for me though and his attitude doesn't lack too much. He'll be a beast if he does bulk up.

    2. Mo Salah No Mane
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Purely have him in my team as a differential.
      Hope he comes good this weekend.
      Always assisting the assister.

  10. OleGGMU
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    In need of advice badly
    Hendo, Butt
    Rico, Lunds, TAA, Chil, Aurier
    Mane, KDB, Maddy, Son, Zaha
    Vardy, Pukki, Ings

    0.6 itb

    a) Pukki + Zaha --> Grealish + Tammy
    b) Pukki + Zaha ---> Martial + Jota/Cheaper?
    c)Zaha ---> lower or max 7.3mid
    d) Stick

    Any advice would be much appreciated

    1. ZAWAd25
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A looks good

  11. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pulistic's time's up.
    Holding onto something that's no longer there.

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

      I have no words sometimes apart from lol

      1. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Let's revisit my comment at the end of gameweek?

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

          Sure, it’s extremely likely i’ll be moving him on after the Bou game anyway. I’d fully agree if it weren’t for his lack of trying, it’s looking good for Bournemouth, but then i’ll likely jump ship.

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

            He's new to PL. Will have plenty of peaks and troughs.

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

    Anyone know if Montoya has been dropped for good ? I'm hoping he plays GW18.

    Team ok this week, think I'll roll transfer, WC GW19/20.

    Henderson
    Lundy, Doherty, Trent, Soyuncu
    Salah, Mane, KDB
    Tammy, Mousset, Vardy
    (Cantwell, Montoya, Saka)

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

    Surprised Kdb's price has gone up 0.4m the last 9 weeks while ge' averaged less than 4 points per match. Maybe too much talk of season keeper?

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

      Bit of price meddling from fpl I would guess

  14. Syd.

    Scoutcast Crew diggin it gettin dun wif da kids

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      groovy

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

    KDB/Jimmy to Maddison/Rashford for -4

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

      No. Neither of those are upgrades for me.

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

        Jimenez to rashford must be an upgrade.

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

          Maby when I downgrade TAA next week

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

          It almost definitely is but I don't have confidence in Rashford. Never have. Good for 4 or 5 games, poor for longer spells.

  16. FPL Doctor
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Chances of TAA and Robbo both starting at the weekend?

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

      91%

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      TAA rest likely. Didn't really get one last gameweek and he's on 4 yellows. doubt he'll be risked against Watford as the next league match is Leicester.

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I think he'll get brought off early which might not be a bad thing.

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

    Gtg?

    Pope
    VVD Soyuncu Lundstram Kelly
    Mane Son Alli Maddison
    Vardy Rashford

    Button Jimenez Cantwell Rico

    Only real question is do I play Jimenez over someone?

    And obviously the vardy v mane shout.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      bench kelly

  18. andres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    No Chelsea for the weekend, think they will start bringing in the points again.
    Could be the moment to do Jimi to Tammy?

    Hedno
    TAA Soy Lund
    Mane Alli Son Madds
    Rash Vardy Jimenez

    Kelly, cantwell, Pieters 1.2 ITB 1FT.

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

      I would

  19. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Which GK to start:
    a. Pope (Home vs NEW)
    b. Ryan (Away vs poor attacking CRY)

    Start 1 def:
    1. dunk (away vs CRY)
    2. willem (away vs BUR)

  20. Thunder Warrior
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Willian or Pulisic?

  21. Geordie19
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    30 points behind ML rival. Everyone will have mane captain this week. Reckon mane to Salah is too sideways? Always had Salah until injury...

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I think that's a waste of a transfer with him blanking next week, either one could do well, 30 points is nothing at this stage of the season.

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

      Salah missed so many chances tonight.

      I wouldnt swap mane for him.

    3. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Just captain Vardy then, that could claw you back 15 points, still a long way to go

    4. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'm not captaining Mane

    5. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy will be more popular captain

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

      Doubt too many will go Mane with Vardy in such form. Casuals will be put off him also having not started last game.

      1. Geordie19
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers all, sorry I meant everyone in my mini league will captain Mane. But good advice above!! Thanks all

  22. sthelenslad92
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Would you:
    A) Jimenez out for Ings
    B) Jimenez out for Abraham
    C) Save the FT, Jimmy has Norwich the GW after.

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

      C.

  23. GreennRed
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    I think Madisson has a higher ceiling than Richarlison. Not a fan of either but it's time to get rid of Pulisic. Sell him for :

    A. Madisson
    B. Richarlison.
    C. Please suggest alternative.

    Have Hayden, De Bruyne, Son and keeping Zaha one more week.

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

      Why is it time with Bou next? You’ll kick yourself if he grabs a goal or something against that Subbuteo side at weekend and can save a FT?

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

        Good advice Zico, might do that yet.

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

      A

  24. Jullepuu
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    So Tammy is rising tonight right?
    Would you pull the trigger on Mount to Grealish now or would you do it next game week?

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

      Next week with Bou up next for Chelski

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

      Hold, great fixture for Mount.

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        If he plays

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

      Next

    4. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers to all of you guys!

  25. afsr
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    KdB, Jimenez -> Dilva, Rashford? (-4)

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

      Not sure that's worth a hit

  26. Salarrivederci
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Jiménez -> Abraham for free & GTG? Would leave me with 0.6 ITB & 2 FT's for next GW (plenty of options to bring in the likes of Rashford, Alli, Son and so on).

    Would not want to drop Robertson/TAA, Maddison, KDB or Ings before this GW, and with those juicy fixtures all around this GW I would prefer not to take a -4 or a -8.

    Guaita
    TAA - Söyüncü - Robertson
    Mané - KDB - Maddison - Zaha
    (C) Vardy - Abraham - Ings

    (Button, Lundstram, Tomori, Cantwell)

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

      It's the move I made this GW. Zaha is the next thing to sort.

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

        Ye but the homeboy needs a second chance after playing 10 against 11 the whole game & meeting a Watford team under new management 😉

  27. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pulisic to be subbed for CHO.

    Nice and rested for the weekend 🙂

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Another game goes by, another Pulisic blank.

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

    Rest up Pulisic lad, ready for Bou

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Standing ovation too...

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

        Indeed 😉

  29. Gaddafi
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    PICK ONE FOR NEXT WEEK ONLY: Sterling, Salah, Mané.

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

      Mane.

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

      Salah

  30. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    I guess I keep Pulisic... That's nice to save him a half hour's work.

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah same, as long as CHO doesn't smash a hattie in now.
