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.

      4 years, 4 months ago

      he should've had a hatty today!
      just the risk mins get managed with more travel coming.
      hard to look past Vardy vs NOR who doesn't have midweek game

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

      Has to be Vardy for security for me but Salah, Mané could be great picks also this week

  2. tbhogal
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Which option is best here guys?? Have 1FT £0.4 itb

    Pope (Button)
    Tomori, Soyuncu, TAA, Lundstrom (Rico)
    Salah, KDB, Son, Mount (Cantwell)
    Jimenez, Vardy, Ings

    A) Jimmy for Tammy
    B) Jimmy for Rashford & Grealish for Pulisic-4

    C) Save FT

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

      I just did A

      Confused though as your option B mentions Pulisic but don’t see him in your team?

  3. milanista10
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    A) Auba to Rashford
    B) Auba to Kane
    C) Auba & Zaha to Rashford & Alli for -4

    Which option lads?

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

      A.

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A , I did this and then I did Jiminez to Tammy.

  4. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Who would you play
    A : Mount
    B : Kelly

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

      A

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

      A

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

    Any Chelsea fans here who can say how likely a Mount start is this weekend?

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      you would think so after a rest

    2. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Start for sure

  6. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Ancelotti just been sacked, Arsenal should get him

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Who was he managing?

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        napoli

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          They just won 4-0, we has he been sacked?

          1. Bruno Bruno!!
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            poor league form

          2. Niho992
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            because they didnt won 5 0

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

      They picked their moment didn’t they!

    3. Calderano FC
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Bollocks, think Hearts jumped the gun with the Stendel appointment.

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

    Bottomed

    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!

  8. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Bench who, will either have double SHU or double LEI defence or both:

    1. Lundstram (AVL) have Henderson
    2. Mount (BOU) have Tammy
    3. Soyuncu (NOR)
    4. Chilwell (NOR)

    Thanks

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      3

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

      Soy imo

  9. Surfeit of Lampteys
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Reasonable to say that the Tomori party has become the yesterdi party?

    1. Calderano FC
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Who does Yesterdi play for?

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yesterdi's party would have been better but you live and learn.

    2. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Looks that way. Though can’t see Rudiger playing two on the bounce after so long out

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Good point.

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

      Bigger chances of the pukki party on its way to a revival than the tomori Party to put it that way.

  10. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    How good is this starting 11, out of 10?

    Pope
    TAA Lundstram Soyuncu
    Salah Martial Maddison Pulisic
    Vardy Abraham Rashford

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

      Got 8 of them, needs Spuds?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        After Chelsea I will get them , I have 1.8m itb.

    2. Calderano FC
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Pulisic and Martial suspect imo

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Maybe but they both are good this week imo, I have the 1.8m so can do both of them to say Son and Grealish

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

      I’ll give it a solid 8/10

      Pope, Martial and Pulisic not the best but a good team

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers, things to consider

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

          That’s what transfers are for 😉

          I have Mount still for GW17 for example because of the plum fixture but I’m booting him for Son next week

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

      9.5, some of them have the potential for big points being low owned.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers mate, this is what I need atm, sat at 240k

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

      No spurs, martial and Pulisic makes it 6/10

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

    Zaha + Connolly > cantwell + Rashford. For free.

    Yes or no?
    Is cantwell worth extra over Dendoncker or Hayden?

  12. Gentle_Turks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    No Chelsea or Pool injuries tonight were there?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Lovren went off again

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

      Lovren injured again.

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

      Thanks. Not bothered about him.

  13. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Arsenal have to go and get Ancelotti. I'd rather have him than Allegri or Poch any day of the week.

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Arsenal have an uncoachable defence though. Everton a better option

      1. Bouncebackability
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Ancelotti would never go to Everton, just can’t see it

    2. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ancelottti is fraud anyway.

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

        Football isn't for everyone I suppose.

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          one league with best Milan in history, Montpeiller win the league ahead of him in France, get sacked in Bayern, sacked in Napoli, no league for him in Real Madrid etc etc

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

            Solid opinion but most will disagree because hes one of those managers who somehow has become known as a top manager despite lacking results

            1. Niho992
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Yea. He was great manager 15-20 years ago but not anymore

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

        r u joking ?

  14. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Win 4-0, progress to next round, sacked five mins later. Thanks for coming Carlo!

  15. Ten Season Wonder
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Hey folks,

    Just wondering on which PLAYER you'd bench from these?

    Aurier (Wolves AWAY)
    Lundstram (Villa HOME)
    Kelly (Brighton HOME)

    Thanks in advance

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        sorryy i meant which player to play?

        (2 on my bench)

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          B then

  16. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    0 FT and 0.2 ITB. GTG ?

    Heaton
    TAA-Soy-Lund
    Salah(C)-MAddison-Mount-Alli
    Kane-Vardy-Jimenez

    Button-Tomori-Kelly-Nakamba

    Dont like the fact that i have 3 players in WOL-SPU

  17. Rover
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Would you rather double up with Son + Kane or Son + Alli?

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

      Son and Alli in their current form but Kane may become the one

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

        Thanks, I'll monitor the next four games (CL, PL, cup, PL) to see form and rest before the bumper week and a GW19 WC

    4 years, 4 months ago

    Hey folks,

    misquote.... TWO PLAYERS need to be benched not one.

    Aurier (Wolves AWAY)
    Lundstram (Villa HOME)
    Kelly (Brighton HOME)

    Thanks in advance

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

      If Aurier plays tomorrow then start Kelly.
      If not, start Aurier.
      Or if you're gutsy, start Aurier anyway and keep Kelly first on bench.

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

      aurier and kelly

  20. FortunesAlwaysHiding

    1. wulfrunian

  23. ZimZalabim
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Hendo
    Taa, Soy, Lund, Rico, Dunk
    Mane, Salah, Maddison, Son, Dendo
    Vardy, Jimi, Connolly

    1ft 1.2itb

    A.) Jimi to Tammy (no other chelsea) will get rashford for a hit next week

    or

    B.) Jimi and dunk to Rashford and Kelly -4
    (will get tammy and grealish in for a hit next week)

  24. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Is Grealish a good differential for the foreseeable future?
    What's your opinion on him?

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

      7% ownership got attacking returns in 3 of the last four hes playing in the front three and has some good fixtures coming up specially in 18 and 19

    2. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yellow card coming

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

        thats the big risk with him he needs to avoid it and get to gw19

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Decent pick, Villa has some good fixtures coming up.

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

      On 4 yellows so would not bring in this week as if carded again misses week 18 game

  25. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Is Alli good enough if can't afford Son?

    1. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      All along i have alli and no son, alli help me with alot of pts.

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

    Would you be tempted with this side on WC (10 changes in total)?

    Guaita
    Aurier Chilwell Willems
    Salah Son Alli Pulisic
    Vardy Rashford Tammy

    Martin Kelly Rico Dendoncker

    1. abaalan
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good but depends on what the old team was

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

        Henderson McGovern
        TAA Soyünücü Lundstram Rico Diop
        Mané KDB Pulisic Zaha Cantwell
        Vardy Tammy Rashford

        1. abaalan
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Think you're fine with the current team at least for this week.

          See spurs struggling more against wolves.

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

            Thanks- that’s helpful. Certainly it was no Spurs that made me consider playing earlier than planned but Wolves no pushovers and KDB v Arsenal could do well

  27. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Anybody captaining mane instead of vardy?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Could be a shout , Andy mentioned it in one of this streams, I'm thinking Salah again.

  28. abaalan
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Best 5th mid under 5.1?

  29. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    this weekend, double up with which defence:

    1. SHU (v AVL)
    2. LEI (v NOR)

    ??

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

      I am on SHU (Henderson and Lundstram) so hoping back to defensive best!

  30. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Lads, I had decided I'd hold, but (a) Salah may be benched again, who knows, and (b) it looks like Mount is back on the bench, I don't think Jorginho leaves the team.

    That said, what do you suggest for this lot?

    Pope
    TAA, Chilwell, Lundstram / Kelly, Rico
    Salah, KDB, Alli, Mount / Traoré
    Vardy, Abraham, Jiménez

    A. Pope to Guaita
    B. Salah to Son/Mané (who?)
    C. Mount and Salah to Maddison and Son (- 4)
    D. Hold
    E. Something else
