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.

      Yep. Poor shooting, poor passing. Didn't impress on the chance he was given.

      Not a threat to Pulisic's spot at the moment.

    See captaincy options in week 18 not great on paper- might help anyone thinking of getting Rashford in to decide

    City v Leicester- probably not although Vardy can score against any ten

    Spurs v Chelsea - Spurs might provide good options with Son/Kane

    But stand out may be Rashford away at Watford but Jiménez at Norwich also option ( or Grealish home to Southampton risky but rewarding if paid off!)

      If we revert to our norm of looking poor while trying to break down more defensive teams this weekend then Rash quickly goes from looking like a great GW18 captain to a much riskier one.

      Rico, great fixtures in a few weeks, and 4.3 is a season bargain.
      On the downside their injured from top to toe, on the upside couldnt be more nailed, takes set pieces and taps bonus.

          Of course, get what ya mean, personally right now i’d rather move on KDB but that could just be biased as i did move him on around 4 GW’s ago for Son. TAA is essentially an attacking mid and on all sorts of set pieces with clean sheet potential, but it’s that ‘potential’ we’re not seeing i guess. Ultimately it would come down to personal choice on your part, for either works for me actually. Rashford looking sensational and certainly worth bringing into the side.

            And while you're here. Who would you get instead of KDB? I have Mane, Son and Maddison. I could get Alli but I don't know if I'll have the money for Rashford then. Maybe Rich?

    Do you think Mount will start or will Lamps stick to 3 CMs?

    How am I looking for this week?

    0FT 5.7itb
    Guaita
    TAA, Lunds, Willems
    Mané, Alli, Maddison, Mount
    Vardy (C), Abraham, Ings
    (McGovern) (Soy, Dendo, Rico)

    Current plan is:
    GW18: Mount > Son
    GW19: Ings, Soy > Rashford, Kelly (-4)

    Cheers!

        Thank you mate.

        Main risk now is Rash hauling this week and being priced out of my moves over next couple of weeks but I can always change the Soy > Kelly move to cover any losses hopefully.
