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.

      Just Jiménez to Rashford-KDB got that Arsenal defence to attack so would not be losing him this week for hit

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

        Thanks

    Really don't know what to do with 2 ft and 2.7 itb. Had a horror show last week ... Any suggestions?

    Pope, mcgov
    Taa, lundstram, aurier, Rico, soyuncu
    Mane, kdb, maddison, pullisic, zaha
    Vardy, Abraham, Connolly

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Downgrade zaha and upgrade Connolly. Rashford and whoever

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

    Pulisic owners, worried?

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

      About...?

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

      Yeah, about plenty of stuff but not him.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      No pleased to see him get 30 minutes rest after very good performance

    4. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Worried? It’s a great thing he was subbed early

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

      looks like he will be rested and come on for the last 10 mins on the weekend probably

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

        Haha

    6. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Hell no. He played well and now more likely to start at the weekend.

    7. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Love that he was rested for Saturday

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

      He got off to have fresh legs for the weekend

  4. Teahupo'o
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Would you lose any of these forwards for Rashford?

    Vardy Kane Abraham

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

      The only one I would lose is Kane but might not even do that

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

      Nah

    3. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      All 4 look good, Abraham the worst actual player for me that might be the kicker

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

      Not kane in isolation, but the change you get can make a huge difference to your team.

    5. Mince n Tatties
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Kane Out

      VAR is the new SAS...

    6. Teahupo'o
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers all.

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

      Nope

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

    What to do with Mount? Stick for one more week?

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

      stick

    2. Nailed Jesus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I feel with him it’s gonna be the same question every week so stick until you’re fed up of the uncertainty

    3. Railwayman
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Stick

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

    Tammy off 🙂

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Looking Healthy?

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

      Same to you

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

        haha

  7. Mr. Jenkins
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Very happy with my team at this moment:

    Pope, Button
    TAA, Aurier, Lundestram, Rico, Kelly,
    Salah, Son, Alli, Maddison, ELNENY
    Vardy, Rashford, JOTA

    I have 2.5 million in the bank, and 1 FT.
    Would Elneny to Grealish
    or
    Jota to Abraham
    Make sense this week?

  8. Railwayman
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    5th blank in a row for Pulišić...

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

      Saving them for weekend

  9. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    So Pulisic was quite good tonight. If he hauls vs BOU I might have to think carefully about getting rid for Grealish.

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

      *if he plays 😉

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Pretty sure he will 😉

      2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Why wouldn’t he?

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

        Which he 100% will

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

    If CHO impresses Pulisic might get dropped

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not so sure about that. Pulisic being given a breather for the weekend.

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

      He didn't.

  11. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Mount not being brought on just makes me nervous. Assume it’s because he isn’t really needed as they have it sewn up but still...

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

      saving him for the weekend

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        That’s the optimistic view but you could see it as not being Lamp’s first choice and seeing that he did fine without him

        Anyway I will keep this week and he’s gone for Son next!

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Being rested, frank said he was going to manage his minutes and the season is long

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Hope so!! Last match in my team this weekend!

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Sold him for Pulisic like most others, not like you are missing major hauls

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Agreed. Just had bigger fish to fry until now!

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

    No injury worries for Abraham?
    Mount being on the bench makes him likely to start against BOU?

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

      Tammy is fine

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

        Thanks!

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

    As an owner of the unfashionable liverpool assets (robbo and salah) I guess the only upside is no cash tied up. Is this sensible?

    Gw17 save FT
    Gw18 robbo, salah -> 1 week punts
    Gw19 wildcard

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

      Does make sense

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

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

    Ugh, I cant ever admit Tammy is good. I just cant do it, its the team around him, with that service a 6foot pensioner would be putting the chances away. When he leaves Chelsea, watch him flop back to medicority, mark my words

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ok mate

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      As a fan, I’ll say he is getting there. Game had improved in every area, especially holdup

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

      Hahahahaha

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

        in 5 years lets see where tammy is, you know it really

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

      I thought he was sh1t but I was wrong. That much is obvious from watching him actually play.

  15. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Remy

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

    LOL FFS. Our defence! Loic Remy homecoming goal.

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

    Sterling / Ayew > Dilva / Rash ?

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

      Injury keeps Stones and Silva out of the UCL tie in Zagreb. “David had a huge kick in his leg and it was too much of a risk to play,” Guardiola said. “John is injured for a few weeks. Sergio is much better, but is still not ready. I don’t know [how long he will be out].” #MCFC

        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Top reply thanks. May look at Maddison them but have two Leicester already

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

          Three Leicester not a bad thing.

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            I agree. Reckon they will give City a good run for their money.

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        That means Otamendi crash boom bang goes the City defence again...

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

          Or he might play Dinho with Gundogan at the back...

  18. FPLord
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    In order to get rashford I need to downgrade one MF. I am going to play my WC in GW 18 and have 2 FT.

    A. Mount > Grealish
    B. DeBruyne > Maddison

    1. The Dribbler
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      a

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years

      easy A

  19. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Inter denied goal on offside again

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

      How unfair

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

    Renato Sanches! He was shockingly bad at Swansea.

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

    With a chance of TAA being rested against Watford then a blank the week after, who's the best replacement for a couple of weeks?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Lovren is injured. Gomez to step in. TAA will play.

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

      TAA won't be rested, Robertson might be though.

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

      Why on earth would TAA be rested?

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

      Don't miss out on his 15 points this week bru

  22. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Mason in there to do a job

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

    Bench one

    A) jimenez
    B) kelly
    C) Lundstram

    1. The Dribbler
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      definitely play Lund. flip a coin between the other two. I'd play Jimmy but that's me.

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

        Normally I'd go with the striker because of higher ceiling, but Jimenez ceiling pretty low at the moment.

        1. The Dribbler
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          yeah it's a tough one. like I said - flip a coin and hope it lands on heads. good luck.

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

      Jimi is on the next pen and could be against penalty connoisseur Aurier if he's fit.

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

      Not gonna happen this year

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

    RP - 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)

  27. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Stones injured, Vardy is going to have Otamendi on a skewer.

  28. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 4 months ago

    Team

    A little dilema, and would appreciate any thoughts:

    I can either play Pulisic and Jiminez/Mousset
    or take a 4 point hit and play
    Rashford and Grealish

    Worth waiting until the following week and doing for free, especially considering Pulisic's favourable fixture against Bournemouth?

    Thanks all
